Lower Bavaria
The Duchy of Lower Bavaria arose in the Wittelsbach partition of 1255, with its seat at Landshut. In 1337 Duke Henry XIV quarrelled with his brother Otto IV and joined his father-in-law John of Bohemia on a winter campaign in Prussia.
Henry reconciled with Emperor Louis IV in 1339 but died months later. His young son John I died in 1340, leaving Louis to reunite Bavaria. The duchy split again in 1353; the Bavarian lands were reunited after the Landshut War of Succession in 1505.
